My first thought was it looked very "Alpha", but thinking about the re-use of kit parts idea, the Alpha only came as a sheet of three, The Antares, however, came as a set of four.

This might also be the #1294 Cobra (same fin sheet, I think).


Indeed, the Cobra 1500 uses the Antares fin sheet.

as posted here on YORF :

Note the part # for the fin is BF-76 ( as in 1276, Antares ) .

many of the reused fin sets can be ID'd this way , as they use the part # of the eariest release, although easier to acertain on early kits with 1200,1300,etc part #s instead of the modern #s as quoted.
